Composite veneers are an ideal choice for patients seeking immediate aesthetic improvements. At our North York dental centre, we recommend this treatment for:
Deciding between these two options usually depends on your budget and how quickly you want results. Here is a quick breakdown to help you choose:
| Feature | Composite Veneers | Porcelain Veneers |
| Time | 1–6 sessions (at most) | Needs more time and visits |
| Cost | More affordable ($300-$600) | Higher investment |
| Drill Work | Minimal to none | Requires enamel removal |
| Stain Resistance | Gradual staining is probable | More resistant to stains |
| Durability | 5 to 7 years | 10 to 15 years (or more) |
| Repairability | Easily fixed if chipped | Must be replaced if damaged |
We value your time. While porcelain takes a few weeks to arrive from the lab, we build these veneers right in our office during your appointment. Depending on what we are fixing, it usually takes about 45 to 90 minutes for each tooth.
We begin by matching the resin shade to your natural enamel to ensure a seamless look. Our skilled dentists then carefully layer the material onto your teeth, shaping it by hand to get the desired result.
We use a powerful blue light to cure the resin. This light triggers a reaction that hardens the material in seconds, locking it firmly into place to ensure that it stays durable for years.
To finish the process, we give the teeth a deep polish to make them feel smooth and have that natural shine you would expect from healthy enamel.
The cost of composite veneers at our North York clinic typically ranges from $300 to $600 per tooth. It is clearly a highly accessible option for those seeking a smile makeover in Toronto. However, the final cost will depend on clinical factors such as the total number of units required, the complexity of correction, and any necessary preparatory work identified during your initial consultation.
On average, they last between 5 to 7 years. Regular check-ups at our North York office can help extend their lifespan.
Not at all. Most patients do not even require local anaesthesia.
Since the material is slightly more porous than porcelain, it can stain over time. We recommend rinsing with water after drinking tea or coffee.
